I am a doer, a problem-solver, a tinkerer. When I look for new resources, I want to get to work and get results as soon as possible. So when I speak or teach, I believe in giving you real, applicable tools you can use to immediately improve your business and build your brand.

I enjoy talking to fellow communicators about how we can better brand ourselves and take advantage of the online environment.

I live for the small business owners. Being a business owner myself, I know how hard it is to find time to market yourself and your business when you’re wearing so many other hats. I love being a lightbulb; helping small business owners have “aha” moments around marketing and PR. I love empowering business owners and consultants to do their own PR.

Non-profit organizations hold a special place in my little branding heart-nothing makes me happier than to help a non-profit discover new ways to raise awareness about a very important cause.

I have spoken to groups, organized and moderated panel conversations, and taught workshops university style.

Testimonials

“I attended Amanda Miller Littlejohn’s presentation on personal branding. The knowledge I gained from the presentation was invaluable! Amanda offered pragmatic suggestions for increasing professional visibility by effectively blogging and maintaining updated social network pages. She also provided guidance for asserting a personal image using concise buzzwords that accurately reflect one’s skills and professional goals. Moreover, she provided timely feedback to my post-presentation inquires. I strongly recommend Amanda’s work to all driven professionals. I believe everyone can benefit from her expertise regardless of his or her stage in career.”

-Zephranie Buetow, Attorney and Policy Expert

“I’ve heard a lot of great things about Amanda’s professional accomplishments and experiences. Her website, book and colleagues all attest to her capabilities. I’m pleased to join the cadre of people who have enjoyed working with and learning from Amanda. She recently accepted my invitation to facilitate a Webinar that I coordinate each month as part of my role on the board of directors for the National Black Public Relations Society. It was during this presentation to a group of public relations practitioners at all levels and from across the country that I witnessed firsthand her level of insight in the area of social media and its role in public relations.

Amanda is unquestionably knowledgeable. Indeed, she delivered a topnotch presentation and facilitated a lively Q&A segment. More importantly, I think it’s because her expertise is wrapped in enthusiasm that she can effectively talk about a complex subject and then stimulate and sustain great discussion. Where most speakers get stuck in the quicksand of delivering facts and theory, Amanda’s style helps folks understand and embrace social media as a viable tool for communicating to desired markets.

I would suggest that by the close of business today, you visit her website and bookmark it! Then, buy her book and other resources, and register for her presentations wherever she may be!”

-Richelle Paine, Board Member-National Black Public Relations Society
